Some people have asked if by running a blog on SlowTrav it must conform to the "SlowTrav" appearance. Originally, we thought, "yes" for ease of maintenance. But we have since altered our system to allow bloggers to utilize the Movable Type feature called "StyleCatcher" which allows the blogger to choose from dozens of different formats. So now, your blogs can have your own, personal, spin.

You can read about how to change the appearance of your blog: Changing Movable Type Themes.

As always, if you have any questions, visit us in the Blogging Forum (Premium Members Only) or the How Do I Forum.

Happy Blogging.

Hi everyone,

Kim did a GREAT job at setting this up for us. Check it out! We certainly enjoy the flexibility and hope you do too!

Cheers!

What about if we use blogger--can that be switched and keep all as it is? But then--sometimes I am borderline controversial so that is a problem, too. Right?

I think we may be easing up on our "controversial" stuff on blogs - let me talk to Kim about it.

We could import from Blogger - we did this with Brenda's blog. We have to figure out the photos - to get them from where they reside on the blogspot server.

We will have a look and get back to you. We can do a test import and see how it goes without affecting your current blog.
